    We only missed spmewhere to hang our wet clothes and towels to dry.

    Great location just a stroll away from the beach and very close to places to eat. Rooms are spacios and with all you need. Loved the shared área beside the pool and the outdoor area beside our room. Very friendly staff.

    The mattress was not comfortable. There was a layer on it that squeaked under every movement we made. The kitchen was great, but having a few basics like oil, full and working salt and pepper grinders would have been great. Not their fault but the power kept going out in town. No generator in sight meant the rooms got very hot without the fan or AC I kind of thought there’d be more inclusions with the stay like bikes and boards to borrow. I wish I’d booked last minute rather than ahead of time because the price came way down

    Location, parking, pool, kitchen were all great. Property has security and wonderful cleaning staff. Wonderful to get a tasty coffee in the mornings from the juice bar.

    It would have been nice to have a light breakfast included as they have the facilities and space to do this. We would have enjoyed that little extra.

    There was no breakfast included with our accomodation but they had a community kitchen which you could tend to any cooking needs. There was a coffee smoothie bar with free morning coffee but no available breakfast. Alejandro the manger was very efficient and helpful with all our needs. He spoke good English and arranged transportation and dining reservations for us. I would highly recommend this Hotel!

    The room is too small for two people. I shared it with a friend and there was not much space to spread out our suit cases. The room is very quiet and charming, with remote AC and the bathroom was very good with a blow dryer included and a good size shower and hot water.

    The property has a nice jungle design with a pool, seating area, a pod coffee maker and cold water dispenser to fill your water bottle. It’s Very relaxing in the morning. The ladies did my laundry for me which was a huge plus!

    The wifi is unreliable which is unfortunate & shouldn’t be an issue in this day and age.

    Lovely surroundings, clean room, comfortable bed, nice hot shower, great aircon, small fridge in room. Great to have access to filtered hot & cold water for free. Great location, close to all you need - beach, restaurants and groceries. Lovely pool area, although it needs to be cleaned more frequently due to the number of insects. Alejandro was super helpful and arranged a tuk tuk for me from the airport.

    Nothing. One observation is that some of the pool tiles are missing making it feel a bit tired.

    Lovely setting with a really good communal area and pool including a kitchen (although we didn’t need to use it) The gardens are immaculate and it’s quiet at night (apart from the occasional morning Howler monkey). It’s at the best end of town for restaurants and the free morning coffee was very good. The staff are all lovely and helpful.

    I think the rooms need "plaquitas" to repel some of the mosquitoes. Additionally, ensuring the staff wash their dishes with soap and water after using them is important. I would also revisit the visitors policy, it was low season and the place was mainly empty, however the staff didn't let my friends in after 7pm which was a little wild to me. Specially because everything closed at like 9pm and we just wanted to talk a little more before going to bed.

    The place is beautiful and at the center of Nosara, super close to the beach. They offer everything and the staff is kind.

    Location is excellent, right on the main strip but tucked in a bit from the road (not by much - but more than many other places). Bed was comfortable enough, room was a little bit dated but was very clean!

    It’s slightly pricey (however nosara is expensive in general). There were some issues with ants in my bathroom, however the cleaning staff came daily and this issue was fixed.

    The staff are incredibly friendly. I loved the pool area and the yoga studio. I loved the vibe of the entire property and it was in a fantastic location. I was able to walk pretty much everywhere I wanted to go. The beds were comfortable and the shower had decent water pressure. If I visit nosara again, I’ll 100% book at living hotel.

    The mattress was absolutely terrible. We had to ask the cleaning staff to flip it and turn it to see if it would improve. By the end of the week out backs were pretty wrecked.

    The grounds and location were excellent! The pool and other facilities were really beautifully kept and so comfortable. I absolutely LOVED all the trees and plants in the hotel, it felt like a personal jungle in the middle of nosara.
